[Intro, Cello hums, Sparse Reverb] It’s always the same look in their eyes Like they know where to hurt me [Verse 1, Stripped Acoustic, Bedroom Reverb] You call me beautiful, But you grab my wrist like he did Your love smells like whiskey And I'm back in that room again [Pre-Chorus, Hollow Cello, Distant Backing Vocals] I flinch when you raise your voice It ain't your fault But damn, you sound just like him [Chorus, Raw Vocal, Broken Harmony] Fuck, I can't keep doing this Every man’s just a mirror I wanna break Should I just give up on this? Maybe women don’t come with knives and shame [Verse 2, Bare Bones Guitar, Room Tone] Came close to love with a girl once She held me like a lullaby No fists, no fire Just soft hands and unspoken goodbyes [Pre-Chorus, Minimal Layers, Sad Cello Swells] But mama said that's not the way Too soft, too strange She never knew what I needed anyway [Chorus, Vocal Strain, Slow Build] Fuck, I can't keep doing this Every man’s just a wound that never closed Maybe softness is resistance Maybe her arms are the only home I know [Bridge, Instrumental Break, Cello Solo, Faint Screams in Background] [Instrumental Interlude, Hollow Ambience] [Outro, Whispered Vocals, Dissonant Strings] I want to be held without shrinking I want to kiss without flinching Maybe I don’t need saving Just someone who doesn’t smell like him [End, Cello Fades, Breath]
